Title: A brief update at 6 months
Post by: Clarkefan on October 02, 2008, 06:47:06 PM
Hello folks:

I thought I would add a brief update at my 6 month milestone. The best way to phrase this is that I am thrilled with the results. My cardio kickboxing teaching is as comfortable as it was 5 years ago. I have begun gentle running on a treadmill (about 1.5 miles to augment my time on other cardio equipment). I feel like I could go much longer and much faster... but haven't tried to really push it (at least in running). I am now able to carry my 5-year-old daughter as long as I want (or until my arms get tired), and routinely forget I ever had anything done until I notice the scar.

Over the past 6 weeks, I have flown cross country about 8 times, and my operative side feels fantastic (the other leg is another issue... for a later date).

The flexibility is really starting to come back, and there are only a few positions that are tight. For the past 6 months I have had no complications, no problems, and no complaints.

My thanks to Dr. Mont.

Good luck to everyone.

Hi

Glad to hear you are doing so well.  Somewhere at the 6 month point, many people reach a new plateau where they really feel recovered and much, much better.

Sounds like to have already passed that point.

Good Luck.
